R&D

For over 20 years we have been working in R&D on a daily basis alongside Belgian and foreign universities and service companies in order to offer you innovative products that combine livestock performance with respect for animal welfare.

Taintstop:

Focus on taint-free pork !

The new feeding concept has already been assessed at Royen farm in Thimister-Clermont, Belgium, in partnership with the Lovenfosse slaughterhouse in Aubel and the ILVO research institute. Named TAINTSTOP, the feed helps to reduce boar taint in pork and is being introduced as a viable alternative to castration – a practice that is set to be phased out in 2018.

Protein efficiency of the diet:

European protein:

Omega 3 and other useful nutriments in milk, meat and eggs:

Yes, you can have a ratio of omega 6 : omega 3 that is under 4! (WHO recommendation)

Reduction of bovine methane emissions:

A reduction of 10% per liter of milk and 30% per kg of beef produced, it is possible !

As evidence, Dumoulin is a partner in the Life Dairyclim project, which aims to demonstrate the efficiency of a specific high-fat diet on the reduction of methane production by cows. More information : www.labos.ulg.ac.be/dairyclim/
